In a college process that already advantages students with polished resumes and access to private tutors, Jodi Rosenshein Atkin, another college admissions consultant, worries the dialogues could widen the divide. #collegesky

The American space program was built by German immigrants (brought to the US under questionable circumstances after WWII). I wrote a thesis about it. This statement from the VP is ridiculous (and disgusting) on every level 🤦‍♀️
In 2023, four of the seven US-based Nobel laureates were immigrants.

That’s a wonderful thing for Americans. It has nothing to do with saying that Americans aren’t good at stuff.

It means that America is a place where the best Americans and best immigrants work together to do great things.

@schumer.senate.gov you are an immense disappointment. There are no words nor any reasonable explanation. As an education professional, you no longer effectively represent my interests nor those of the students and families I represent. Too old, too invested in your own power.
